Compressing locally beats pushing 2 GB to a server and pulling it back down.
Uploaded a two-hour recording during lunch — the transcript was waiting before I finished my coffee. The accuracy genuinely surprised me.
Our legal team approved it because processing stays on EU infrastructure. That alone ruled out most of the competition.
Holiday videos compress to messenger-friendly sizes without turning into pixel soup.
Balanced really is balanced — half the size, and I can’t spot the difference on a laptop screen.
No card, no tricks — I tested real files before paying and upgraded a week later because the workflow stuck.
Had trouble with a huge file — support walked me through batch upload the same morning. Rare these days.
Yes — no account, no watermark, no limits. Compression runs in your browser, so we don’t pay for servers and you don’t pay for compression.
No. The entire process runs locally in your browser — your footage never leaves your device, which also means no waiting for uploads and downloads.
Depends on the preset: Small targets roughly 70% reduction at 720p, Balanced about half the size at original resolution, High quality around 30% with minimal visible loss.
Popular formats (MP4, MOV and similar) compress fast at up to 4 GB. Less common formats fall back to in-browser re-encoding with a 300 MB limit.
MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, FLV, 3GP, WMV, MPEG, TS and more.
The presets are tuned to avoid artefacts: bitrate never drops below the point where compression stops being worth it. For critical footage pick High quality.
